Hi!

>Do you really need to decrease the counters?

Well yes. My goal is to have a precise count of the connections that are 
not assured per destination host. I think I will try the helper option.

One more question: is the target function called for each new packets or 
only once per conntrack? I think I read somewhere that it was the first 
option but I cannot remember exactly and I cannot retrieve it.

Thanks a lot for your help,

         Emmanuel
